  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting to set properly.
  • Use a good quality cream cheese: The cream cheese is the star of the frosting, so make sure to use a good quality brand.
  • Beat the cream cheese until it is light and fluffy: This will make the frosting smooth and creamy.
  • Add the rum to the frosting gradually: This will help to prevent the frosting from curdling.
  • Frost the cake evenly: Use a spatula to spread the frosting evenly over the top and sides of the cake.
